See the description of LAST_INSERT_ID(), as in this example:

`LAST_INSERT_ID([expr])'
     Returns the last automatically-generated value that was set in an
     `AUTO_INCREMENT' column.  *Note `mysql_insert_id()':
     mysql_insert_id.

          mysql> select LAST_INSERT_ID();
                  -> 1
